Section
2.5Β Form
of Shares; Book-Entry System; Transferability of Down-MACRO Holding
Shares.
Β
(a)Β Form
of Shares.
The Down-MACRO Holding Shares shall be evidenced by one or more global
certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A
attached hereto, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions
as
hereinafter provided (each such certificate, a "Global
Certificate").
No Down-MACRO Holding Shares shall be entitled to any benefits under this
Trust
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless a Global Certificate
evidencing those Down-MACRO Holding Shares has been executed by the Trustee
by
the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the
Trustee
and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
officer of the Depositor. The Trustee shall maintain books on which the
registered ownership of each Global Certificate and transfers, if any,
of such
registered ownership shall be recorded. Global Certificates evidencing
the
Down-MACRO Holding Shares bearing the manual or facsimile signature of
a duly
authorized signatory of the Trustee and the manual or facsimile signature
of a
duly authorized officer of the Depositor, if applicable, who was, at the
time
such Global Certificates were executed, a proper signatory of the Trustee
or the
Depositor, as applicable, shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such
signatory has ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such
Global
Certificates. The Global Certificates may be endorsed with or have incorporated
in the text thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Trust Agreement as may be required by the Trustee
or
required to comply with any applicable law or regulations promulgated thereunder
or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which
the
Down-MACRO Holding Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with
respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions
to which
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares are subject.
Β
The
Founders' Shares and the beneficial ownership thereof by the Depositor
and the
Administrative Agent shall be recorded on the books and records maintained
by
the Trustee on behalf of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust and no physical
certificates shall be issued in respect of such Founders' Shares. Concurrently
with the first Paired Issuance of Paired Holding Shares, the Founders'
Shares
shall be cancelled and shall not thereafter be reissued.
Β
(b)Β Book-Entry
Settlement.
The Depositor and the Trustee shall apply to the Depository for acceptance
of
the Global Certificates in its book-entry settlement system. The Global
Certificates shall be deposited with the Trustee, as the custodian for
the
Depository, shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for
the Depository, and shall bear the following legend:
Β
UNLESS
THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY
TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE "DEPOSITORY"),
TO
THE AGENT AUTHORIZED BY THE DEPOSITOR FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO.
OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE
DEPOSITORY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS
IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
IS
WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
INTEREST HEREIN.
Β
25
So
long
as the Down-MACRO Holding Shares are eligible for book-entry settlement
with the
Depository, (i) no Beneficial Owner of Down-MACRO Holding Shares will be
entitled to receive a physical certificate evidencing those shares, (ii)
the
interest of a Beneficial Owner in the Down-MACRO Holding Shares will be
shown
only on, and transfer of that interest will be effected only through, records
maintained by the Depository or a DTC Participant or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner holds that interest and (iii) the rights
of a
Beneficial Owner of Down-MACRO Holding Shares will be exercised only to
the
extent allowed by, and in compliance with, the arrangements in effect between
such Beneficial Owner and the Depository or the DTC Participant or Indirect
Participant through which that Beneficial Owner holds an interest in the
Down-MACRO Holding Shares.
Β
As
provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement date for any
creation,
transfer or redemption of the Down-MACRO Holding Shares, the Depository
will
credit or debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
amount
of Down-MACRO Holding Shares so created, transferred or redeemed to the
accounts
of the appropriate DTC Participants. The accounts to be credited and charged
shall be designated by the Trustee, as instructed by the Administrative
Agent
and the applicable Holder of Down-MACRO Holding Shares. The Beneficial
Owners of
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares will be shown on, and the transfer of beneficial
ownership by Beneficial Owners will be effected only through, in the case
of DTC
Participants, records maintained by the Depository and, in the case of
Indirect
Participants and Beneficial Owners holding through a DTC Participant or
an
Indirect Participant, through those records or the records of the relevant
DTC
Participants. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive from or through
the
broker or bank that maintains the account through which the Beneficial
Owner has
purchased Down-MACRO Holding Shares a written confirmation relating to
their
purchase of Down-MACRO Holding Shares.
Β
Upon
the
settlement date for any creation, transfer, redemption or exchange of Down-MACRO
Holding Shares, the Trustee shall make a notation on Schedule
A
attached
to the Global Certificate indicating the resulting Net Par Amount Increase
or
Net Par Amount Decrease in the Aggregate Par Amount of Outstanding Down-MACRO
Holding Shares represented by such Global Certificate. Upon the settlement
date
for a transfer of a Global Certificate to a new Registered Owner as described
in
clause
(e)(ii)
of this
Section
2.5,
the
Trustee shall cancel such Global Certificate and issue a new Global Certificate
in the name of such transferee Registered Owner.
Β
The
Depository may discontinue providing its services with respect to the Down-MACRO
Holding Shares by giving notice to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent
and the
Depositor pursuant to and in conformity with the provisions of the Depository
Agreement and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. In such event, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and
the
Depositor shall seek to find a replacement for the Depository to perform
the
functions thereof on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Depositor. If no such replacement can be found or is willing to assume
the
duties of the Depository, then a Termination Trigger will occur pursuant
to
Section
11.1
of this
Trust Agreement.
Β
(c)Β Notices
to Beneficial Owners.
As described above, the Trustee will recognize the Depository or its nominee
as
the owner of all Down-MACRO Holding Shares for all purposes except as expressly
set forth in this Trust Agreement. Conveyance of all notices, statements
and
other communications required to be delivered to Beneficial Owners will
be
effected as follows: The Administrative Agent shall inquire of each such
DTC
Participant as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Down-MACRO Holding
Shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Administrative
Agent shall provide each such DTC Participant with sufficient copies of
such
notice, statement or other communication, in such form, number and at such
place
as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice,
statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant,
directly
or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners. In addition, the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust shall reimburse each such DTC Participant for the expenses attendant
to
such transmittal, subject to applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements.
Β
26
(d)Β Distributions
on Book-Entry Certificates.
All distributions on the Down-MACRO Holding Shares shall be made to the
Depository or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all
Down-MACRO Holding Shares. The Trustee and the Depositor expect that the
Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any distributions made in respect
of
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares, shall credit immediately the DTC Participants'
accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial
interests in the Down-MACRO Holding Shares as shown on the records of the
Depository or its nominee. The Trustee and the Depositor also expect that
payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners
held
through such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants will be governed
by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in a
"street name," and shall be the responsibility of such DTC Participants
and
Indirect Participants. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative
Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the
records
relating to or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account
of
beneficial ownership interests in the Down-MACRO Holding Shares, or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between
the
Depository and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC
Participants and the Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners owning
through
such DTC Participants or Indirect Participants or between or among the
Depository, any Beneficial Owner and any Person by or through which such
Beneficial Owner is considered to own Down-MACRO Holding Shares.
Β
(e)Β Registration
of Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer.
Β
(i)Β The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a register
(the
"Share
Register")
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, a
transfer
agent and registrar (the "Transfer
Agent and Registrar")
shall provide for the registration of the Down-MACRO Holding Shares and
of
transfers and exchanges of such shares as herein provided. The Transfer
Agent
and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee. The Depositor may revoke
such
appointment and remove any Transfer Agent and Registrar if the Depositor
determines in its sole discretion that such Transfer Agent and Registrar failed
to perform the responsibilities of the Transfer Agent and Registrar set
forth in
this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any Transfer Agent and Registrar
shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon thirty
(30)
days' notice to the Depositor and the Trustee; provided,
however,
that such resignation shall not be effective and such Transfer Agent and
Registrar shall continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar
until the Trustee has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar
reasonably acceptable to the Depositor.
Β
(ii)Β Transfers
of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global
Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or
to a
successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee. When a Global
Certificate is presented for registration of transfer, the Depositor shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar
shall register one or more new Global Certificates in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees. Each Global Certificate presented for registration
of
transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a
form
satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed
by
the Registered Owner or the attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in
writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of
Down-MACRO Holding Shares, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that
may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
Β
27
(iii)Β No
sale or transfer of beneficial interests in the Down-MACRO Holding Shares
may be
made to any Beneficial Owner other than (i) the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust,
(ii)
a Qualified Institutional Buyer who is not a Benefit Plan Investor, or
(iii) or
an Authorized Participant. Each Beneficial Owner of a Down-MACRO Holding
Share
shall be deemed to represent and warrant, by virtue of acquiring an interest
in
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares, that it is an entity that is described in
one of
the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). In the event that any of the
Trustee,
the Administrative Agent or the Depositor obtains knowledge that any Beneficial
Owner is not an entity of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii),
the
Trustee, acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall instruct
such Beneficial Owner to transfer its Down-MACRO Holding Shares to an entity
that does satisfy clause (i), (ii) or (iii).
Β
(f)Β Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Shares.
If (a) any mutilated Global Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer
Agent and
Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Global Certificate
and (b)
there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee
such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Global Certificate
has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Depositor shall execute, the
Trustee
shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver,
in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Global
Certificate, a new Global Certificate of like tenor and aggregate beneficial
interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Global Certificate
under
this Section
2.5(f),
the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment
by the
Registered Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar)
connected therewith. Any duplicate Global Certificate issued pursuant to
this
Section
2.5(f)
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Global Certificate shall be found at any time.

Optional Redemption").
The Authorized Participant directing the Paired Optional Redemption must
be the
Beneficial Owner of the Paired Holding Shares or the Down-MACRO and Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares which are being tendered for redemption, as shown on the

day between the Redemption Order Date and the Redemption Date calculated
on the
basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil on the Redemption
Order
Date.Β
Β
(b)Β Subject
to the procedures and requirements specified in the Participants Agreement,
the
redeeming Authorized Participants may effect a Paired Optional Redemption
by
delivering a Redemption Order to the Administrative Agent on any day that

Price Determination Day (such date, a "Redemption
Order Date")
not later than the earlier of (i) half an hour prior to the end of trading
in

which any
Substitute Reference Oil Price is determined by the Applicable Reference
Price
Provider and (ii) the unanticipated close of trading of the Light Sweet
Crude
Oil Futures Contracts or of the Substitute Reference Oil Price. Any Redemption
Order received by the Administrative Agent after the time specified in

foregoing sentence will automatically be cancelled. Following the Redemption
Order Date, the redeeming Authorized Participant must transfer to the Trustee,
not later than the date and time specified in the Participants Agreement,
(i)
the requisite number of Paired Holding Shares constituting at least one
MACRO
Unit or integral multiples thereof or the requisite number of Tradeable

not
tendered to the Trustee for redemption, (iii) if the Depositor has determined,
based upon an opinion of counsel, and advised the Trustee, that such Redemption
Order would have adverse tax or securities laws consequences for either
of the
Paired Holding Trusts, the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust or Up-MACRO Tradeable
Trust, the Holders of the Paired Holding Shares or the Holders of the Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares or Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares, (iv) if the acceptance or
receipt
of the Redemption Order would, in the opinion of counsel to the Depositor
acceptable to the Trustee, be unlawful, (v) if any such redemption would
cause
the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust to hold fifty percent or less of the Outstanding
Down-MACRO Holding Shares, (vi) if circumstances outside the control of
the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent make it impractical
or not
feasible to process the Redemption Order on the Redemption Order Date or
the
Redemption Date, or (vii) if the Up-MACRO Holding Trustee has notified
the
Trustee that it has rejected the related Redemption Order or the related
Exchange Order delivered under the Up-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement for
one of
the reasons described in Section

hereto, shall:
Β
(i)Β identify
the Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the Down-MACRO Holding Trust that
are the
most recently-acquired Eligible Treasuries with a Value equal to the
product of
the Down-MACRO Redemption Percentage and the Down-MACRO Asset Amount
(or the
portion thereof that is not available to be delivered in cash);
Β
(ii)Β (A)
select Eligible Treasuries with a Value equal to the Down-MACRO Settlement
Payment, if any such payment is required to be made by the Down-MACRO
Holding
Trust, (B) allocate the remaining Eligible Treasuries to be delivered
as a Final
Distribution to the Authorized Participants directing the Paired Optional
Redemption and (C) in the event that the remaining Eligible Treasuries
to be
delivered as a Final Distribution exceed the amount due to the Authorized
Participants directing the Paired Optional Redemption, calculate the
amount to
be paid by the Authorized Participants to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust
to
compensate the trust for the excess Value of the Eligible Treasuries
being
delivered to the Authorized Participants as a Final Distribution (such
amount,
the "Redemption
Cash Component");
and
Β
(iii)Β instruct
the Trustee as to which Eligible Treasuries the Trustee is to use to
effect the
Paired Optional Redemption and, of those, the Eligible Treasuries to
be used to
make the Down-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, the Eligible Treasuries
to be
used to make the Final Distribution to the redeeming Authorized Participants
and
the Redemption Cash Component to be collected from the Authorized Participants,
if any.
47
The
Eligible Treasuries selected by the Administrative Agent to be delivered
as the
Final Distribution in a Paired Optional Redemption shall be distributed
ratably,
by type, to each redeeming Authorized Participant. A "type" of Eligible
Treasury
will include all Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust
with the same acquisition date, the same purchase price, the same maturity
and
the same implied discount or stated interest. The Trustee shall cause
the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust to deliver Eligible Treasuries pursuant to this
Section
6.1(d)
only in
accordance with the directions of the Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent violates any of the requirements or conditions set
forth in
Exhibit
H
in the
course of directing the Trustee in the selection and distribution of
Eligible
Treasuries "in kind" pursuant to this Section
6.1(d),
the
Administrative Agent shall undertake to remedy such violation in the
manner
specified in such Exhibit
H.

(e)Β A
non-refundable transaction fee will be payable to the Trustee for its
own

the Trustee or the Administrative Agent has incurred expenses on behalf
of the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust in connection with taking steps to effect a
Paired
Optional Redemption pursuant thereto, and any reimbursement of such expenses
cannot be obtained from the Authorized Participant who delivered the
Redemption
Order, then such expenses shall be reimbursed to the Trustee and the
Administrative Agent on the next Distribution Payment Date out of funds
available in the Fee Payment Account or, if such funds are insufficient,
by the
Depositor.

any Distribution Date that is an Early Termination Date or on the Final
Scheduled Termination Date, the Trustee shall redeem all of the Down-MACRO
Holding Shares that are Outstanding on such Distribution Date at their
Per Share

Day, using the funds that are on deposit in the Distribution Account
after all
of the Settlement Contracts have been settled, as specified in priority

and, if applicable, concurrently exchange such MACRO Units to their related
Tradeable Shares following the receipt of, and in accordance with, a
Creation
Order delivered by an Authorized Participant and forwarded to the Trustee

Contributions.
Β
(a)Β Each
Holder has made an initial Capital Contribution (as defined below) to

Section

Accounts; Allocations.
There
shall be established in respect of each Holder a separate capital account
in the
books and records of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of the Holder's
Capital Contributions to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust (each, a "Capital
Account"),
to
which the following provisions shall apply:
Β
(a)Β The
Capital Account of each Holder initially shall be equal to the cash contributed
in exchange for its Down-MACRO Holding Shares (each, a "Capital
Contribution")
and, at the end of each day shall be:
Β
(i)Β increased
by (A) an amount equal to any amounts paid with respect to Down-MACRO
Holding
Shares issued as part of a Paired Issuance by such Holder during such
day; and
(B) such Holder's interest in the Net Profit (and items thereof) of the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust during such day as allocated under Section
7.2(b);
and
Β
(ii)Β decreased
by (A) any distributions made in cash by the Down-MACRO Holding Trust
to such
Holder on such day; (B) the fair market value of any property other than
cash
distributed by the Down-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day;
and (C)
such Holder's interest in the Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Down-MACRO
Holding Trust for such day as allocated under Section
7.2(b).
Β
(b)Β Except
pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in Section
7.3,
or as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, Net Profit and Net
Loss (and
items of each) of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust shall be provisionally
allocated
as of the end of each day among the Holders in a manner such that the
Capital
Account of each Holder immediately after giving effect to such allocation,
is,
as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount equal to
the
distributions that would be made to such Holder during such fiscal year
pursuant
to ARTICLE
5
if (i) the Down-MACRO Holding Trust were dissolved and terminated; (ii)
its
affairs were wound up and each Trust Asset was sold for cash equal to
its book
value; (iii) all Down-MACRO Holding Trust liabilities were satisfied
(limited
with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the book value of the assets
securing such liability); and (iv) the net assets of the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust were distributed in accordance with ARTICLE
5
to the Holders immediately after giving effect to such allocation. The
Depositor
may, in its discretion, make such other assumptions (whether or not consistent
with the above assumptions) as it deems necessary or appropriate in order
to
effectuate the intended economic arrangement of the Holders. Except as
otherwise
provided elsewhere in this Trust Agreement, if upon the dissolution and
termination of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust pursuant to Section
14.1
and after all other allocations provided for in this Section
7.2
have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.2(b)
were not in this Trust Agreement, a distribution to the Holders under
Section
14.1
would be different from a distribution to the Holders under ARTICLE
5
then Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof)
for the
fiscal year in which the Down-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates
pursuant to Section
14.1
shall be allocated among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital
Account
of each Holder, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is,
as
nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distribution
that would be made to such Holder during such last fiscal year pursuant
to
ARTICLE
5.
The Depositor may, in its discretion, apply the principles of this Section
7.2(b)
to any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the Down-MACRO
Holding
Trust dissolves and terminates (including through application of Section
761(e)
of the Code) if delaying application of the principles of this Section
7.2(b)
would likely result in distributions under Section

that are materially different from distributions under ARTICLE
5
in the fiscal year in which the Down-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and
terminates.

(c)Β Before
any distribution of property (other than cash) from the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust
to a Holder (including without limitation, any non-cash asset which shall
be
deemed distributed immediately prior to the dissolution and winding up
of the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust), the Capital Accounts of all Holders of the
Down-MACRO
Holding Trust shall be adjusted and, upon the occurrence of one or more
of the
other events described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations,
may
be adjusted to reflect the manner in which any unrealized income, gain,
loss or
deduction inherent in such property (that has not been previously reflected
in
the Holders' Capital Accounts) would be allocated among the Holders if
there
were a taxable disposition of such property by the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust on
the date of distribution, in accordance with Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)
and
(g) of the Regulations.
Β

determining the amount of any liability for purposes of this Section

there shall be taken into account Section 752 of the Code and any other
applicable provisions of the Code and any Regulations promulgated
thereunder.

(e)Β Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the provisions
of
this Section
7.2
regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be construed so as
to comply
with the provisions of the Code and any Regulations thereunder. The Depositor
in
its sole and absolute discretion and whose determination shall be binding
on the
Holders is hereby authorized to interpret and to modify the foregoing
provisions
to the extent necessary to comply with the Code and Regulations.
56
Β
Section
7.3Β Regulatory
and Related Allocations.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this ARTICLE
7
to the
contrary, the following special allocations shall be made to the Capital
Accounts of the Holder in the following order:
Β
(a)Β Minimum
Gain Chargeback.
If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any taxable
year,
each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Down-MACRO Holding
Trust
income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent
taxable
years) in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the portion of such Holder's
share of the net decrease in such Partnership Minimum Gain, determined
in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1), or (B) if such Holder
would
otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit attributable solely
to such
Holder's Capital Account at the end of such taxable year, an amount sufficient
to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant
to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required
to be allocated to the Holders pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This
Section
7.3(a)
is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Section
1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
To the extent permitted by such section of the Regulations and for purposes
of
this Section
7.3(a)
only, each Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined
prior
to any other allocations with respect to such taxable year.
Β
(b)Β Partner
Minimum Gain Chargeback.
Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2, if there
is a net
decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to Partner
Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year, each Holder shall be specially
allocated items of Down-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain for such
taxable
year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal
to such
Holder's share, if any, of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum
Gain attributable to such Holder's Partner Nonrecourse Debt, as determined
in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. Allocations pursuant to
the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required
to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This
Section
7.3(b)
is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in
such
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Β
(c)Β Qualified
Income Offset.
In the event any Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations,
or
distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or
(6) with respect to such Holder's Capital Account, items of Down-MACRO
Holding
Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Holder
in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by
the
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly
as
possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section
7.3(c)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder's Capital Account
would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
provided
for in this Trust Agreement have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.3(c)
were not in this Trust Agreement. This Section
7.3(c)
is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning
of
Regulations Section 1.704-1 and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
Β
(d)Β Nonrecourse
Deductions.
Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall
be
allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Holders in accordance with their
respective Capital Accounts.
57
Β
(e)Β Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions.
Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year (or portion thereof)
of
the Down-MACRO Holding Trust shall be allocated to the Holder who bears
the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to
which such
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2.
Β
(f)Β Gross
Income Allocation.
In the event any Holder has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items
of
Down-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated
to the
Capital Account of such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate
such Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible;
provided
that an allocation pursuant to this Section
7.3(f)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder's Capital Account
would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
provided
for in this ARTICLE
7
(other than this Section
7.3(f))
have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.3(f)
were not in this Trust Agreement.
Β
(g)Β Loss
Allocation Limitation.
No allocation of Net Loss (or items thereof) shall be made to any Holder
to the
extent that such allocation would create or increase an Adjusted Capital
Account
Deficit with respect to such Holder.
Β
(h)Β Curative
Allocations.
The allocations set forth in this Section
7.3
(the "Regulatory
Allocations")
are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations under
Section 704 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust
Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations
shall be taken into account in allocating other Down-MACRO Holding Trust
items
of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense among the Holders so that,
to the
extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Down-MACRO
Holding
Trust items and the Regulatory Allocations shall be equal to the net
amount that
would have been allocated to the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement
if the
Regulatory Allocations had not been made.
Β
Section
7.4Β Transfer
of or Change in Down-MACRO Holding Shares.
The
Depositor may use any convention or combination of conventions that it
believes
is reasonable for U.S. federal income tax purposes regarding the allocation
of
items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to transferred
Down-MACRO Holding Shares and redeemed Down-MACRO Holding Shares. A transferee
who takes all or part of a Holder's Down-MACRO Holding Shares shall succeed
to
the Capital Account maintained in respect of the transferor Holder to
the extent
of such transfer.
Β
Section
7.5Β Tax
Allocations.
As of
the end of each day, income, expense, deduction, gain or loss of the
Down-MACRO
Holding Trust, all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
shall be
allocated among the Holders pursuant to the following subsections solely
for
U.S. federal and other applicable tax purposes (both U.S. and non-U.S.
taxes) as
provided below. Such allocations shall be pro rata from short-term capital
gain
or loss and long-term capital gain or loss and operating income or loss
recognized by the Down-MACRO Holding Trust. Such allocations shall be
made, to
the extent required, in a manner consistent with the principles of Section
7.2(b).
Β
(a)Β Except
as provided in the second and third sentences of Section
7.5(b)(ii),
items of ordinary income (such as interest income), deduction and expense
(such
as advisory fees and brokerage fees) shall be allocated in a manner consistent
with the economic allocations described in Section
7.2.
58
(b)Β Items
of recognized capital gain or loss from the Down-MACRO Holding Trust's
trading
activities shall be allocated as follows:
Β
(i)Β There
shall be established a tax basis account with respect to each Holder's
shares in
the Down-MACRO Holding Trust. The initial balance of each tax basis account
shall be the amount contributed to the capital of the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust
for such shares.
Β
Β
(1)Β Each
tax basis account shall be increased by the amount of (I) any additional
contributions made with respect to such Holder's shares in the Down-MACRO
Holding Trust and (II) any taxable income or gain allocated to such Holder
pursuant to Section
7.5(a)
above and this Section
7.5(b);
Β
Β
(2)Β Each
tax basis account shall be decreased by the amount of (I) taxable expense,
deduction or loss allocated to such Holder pursuant to Section
7.5(a)
above and this Section
7.5(b)
and (II) any distribution received by such Holder with respect to its
Down-MACRO
Holding Shares other than as a consequence of a partial redemption of
Down-MACRO
Holding Shares; and
Β
Β
(3)Β When
any Down-MACRO Holding Share is redeemed, the tax basis account attributable
to
such redeemed Down-MACRO Holding Share shall be eliminated.
Β
(ii)Β Items
of recognized capital gain shall be allocated first to each Holder who
has fully
or partially redeemed its Down-MACRO Holding Shares on such day up to
any
excess
of (A) the amount received upon such redemption over
(B) the tax basis account attributable to the redeemed Down-MACRO Holding
Shares
in the Down-MACRO Holding Trust. If the aggregate amount of recognized
capital
gain to be so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed Down-MACRO Holding
Shares on such day is less than the excess of all such amounts received
upon
redemption over all such tax basis accounts, then items of ordinary income
shall
be allocated first to all such Holders up to any excess of all such amounts.
If
the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain and ordinary income to
be so
allocated to all Holders who have redeemed Down-MACRO Holding Shares
on such day
is less than the excess of all such amounts received upon redemption
over all
such tax basis accounts, the entire amount of capital gain and ordinary
income
for such day shall be allocated among all such Holders in the ratio that
each
such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears to the aggregate excess
of
all such Holders who redeemed any of their Down-MACRO Holding Shares
on such
day.
Β
(iii)Β Items
of recognized capital gain remaining after the allocations in subsection
(ii)
above shall be allocated among all Holders whose Capital Accounts are
in excess
of their tax basis accounts (after the adjustments in subsection
(ii))
in the ratio that each such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears
to all
such Holders' excesses. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital
gain to be
so allocated is greater than the aggregate excess of all such Holders'
Capital
Accounts over all such tax basis accounts, the excess amount of gain
shall be
allocated among all Holders in the ratio that each Holder's Capital Account
bears to all Holders' Capital Accounts.
59
Β
(iv)Β Items
of recognized capital loss shall be allocated first to each Holder who
has
redeemed any of its Down-MACRO Holding Shares on such day up to any excess
of (A) the tax basis account attributable to the redeemed Down-MACRO
Holding
Share over
(B) the amount received upon such redemption. If the aggregate amount
of
recognized capital loss to be so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed
any
Down-MACRO Holding Shares on such day is less than the aggregate excess
of all
such tax basis accounts over all such amounts received upon redemption,
the
entire amount of loss for such day shall be allocated among all such
Holders in
the ratio that each such Holder's excess bears to the aggregate excess
of all
such Holders who redeemed any of their Down-MACRO Holding Shares on such
day.
Β
(v)Β Items
of recognized capital loss remaining after the allocations in subsection
(iv)
above shall be allocated among the Holders whose tax basis accounts are
in
excess of their Capital Accounts (after the adjustments in subsection
(iv))
in the ratio that each such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears
to all
such Holders' excesses. If the aggregate amount of loss to be so allocated
is
greater than the aggregate excess of all such tax basis accounts over
all such
Holders' Capital Accounts, the excess amount of recognized capital loss
shall be
allocated among all Holders in the ratio that each Holder's Capital Account
bears to all Holders' Capital Accounts.
Β
(vi)Β The
allocations of profit and loss to the tax basis accounts of Holders in
respect
of the Down-MACRO Holding Shares shall not exceed the allocations permitted
under Subchapter K of the Code as determined by the Depositor in its
sole and
absolute discretion, whose determination shall be binding on the
Holders.
Β
(c)Β The
allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for U.S. federal
income
tax purposes set forth herein is intended to allocate such items so as
to
eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a Holder's Capital
Account and its tax basis account, consistent with principles set forth
in
Section 704(c) of the Code.
Β
Section
7.6Β Determination
of Certain Matters.
Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in this Trust
Agreement, all matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts
and tax
basis accounts, the allocation of Net Profit (and items thereof) and
Net Loss

and expense for tax purposes, the adoption or modification of any accounting
procedures, any adjustments to the books and records of the Down-MACRO
Holding
Trust and all matters related to liquidation and dissolution of the Down-MACRO
Holding Trust shall be determined by the Depositor, in its sole and absolute
discretion. Such determination shall be final and conclusive as to all
Holders
and be in accordance with the Code and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything
expressed or implied in this Trust Agreement, in the event the Depositor,
shall
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to
modify the
manner in which the Capital Accounts and tax basis accounts, or any debits
or
credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic
sharing arrangement of the Holders, the Depositor may make such modification.
Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss to a Holder's Capital Account
shall be
made for each day as soon as practicable thereafter.
Β
Section
7.7Β No
Deficit Makeup.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the liquidation
of the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust, no Holder shall be required to make any contribution
to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of any deficit in such Holder's
Capital Account.
60
Β
Section
7.8Β U.S.
Partnership Tax Treatment.
It is
the intent of the Holders and the Depositor that the Down-MACRO Holding
Trust be

of the
Code. The Depositor may file such forms and make such elections as the
Depositor
deems appropriate to effect such intent.

For the
purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires:
